    Thoughts on DPF and tuning

    i have a darkside 2.5" downpipe that stops @ the (non-functional) exhaust flap and a stage 2 tune from malone (tunezilla). i also chose to delete the intake flaps at the same time but kept the high pressure EGR. works great. no crazy exhaust smell. zero smoke or soot on the back of the car...

    DPF

    it doesn't cost anything if you have a genuine Ross-Tech VCDS cable and software--which costs $200. a VW dealership is going to charge you a $150-$250 diagnostic fee to tell you that your car needs multiple thousands of dollars in repairs...... unless your car is still covered under the...

    Golf P2002 Help!

    what i can tell you is that if the DPF is working there should be 0% soot anywhere downstream. 0% as in NONE. when working correctly, they are very good at what they do. it's kind of unclear where you are in this, but an easy, real world test is to clean the tailpipes thoroughly and then drive...

    Is the dealer incorrect? Synchro issue part mismatch

    but you've chosen not to in this instance? what if i told you ALL of the syncros in the 02Q have the 02M prefix?

    Is the dealer incorrect? Synchro issue part mismatch

    it's been said here that these transmissions came with steel syncros early on and then brass ones later. if you called the dealer and gave them your VIN number, i would tend to trust them.

    Fuel level calibration or perpetual motion CJAA

    it uses your long-term MPGs to calculate range. as you accrue miles, it recalculates. just filled mine last night and range was 460 miles.

    2014 MKVI Golf TDI w/DSG general comments, suggestions, and concerns for my vehicle

    once you have your VCDS (or another tool that can monitor live data), just watch the temp. it should be able to maintain 87C or 196F and never drop below that. if your dash gauge ever drops from halfway, your engine temp is approx 165F

    2014 MKVI Golf TDI w/DSG general comments, suggestions, and concerns for my vehicle

    i had the intake flaps removed from mine when i did the DPF extrication--used a passat intake manifold. the B6 aluminum lower control arms and rear sway bar are cheap junkyard upgrades that make small differences your thermostat will or already has failed and that is an expensive repair. your...

    Question about tuning status

    i HAD a malone stage 2 tune and all of my emissions equipment. i really liked the "clean diesel" aspect of all that. when my DPF went out i fought hard and did a bunch of research on what was the best way to retain some of that. in the end, i just bit the bullet and bought a darkside pipe. the...

    Question about tuning status

    did unplugging the EGR trigger the CEL? it should and if not, i would suspect a tune is installed. 43ish sounds more sane to me if you don't do much city driving.
